Another object of the invention is to pro`` vide novel `means for forming the pin so as to prevent slipping of the tie from oil' of said pin.

Arfurther objectV of the invention is to provide a novel tie holder .attachmentfor collar buttons, which can bereadily associated witha collar button and placed upon the market at a low cost. l

Withthese and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel construction, arrangement and-formation ofparts, as will be hereinafter more specifically described` claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in 4vwhich drawings:

and comprises a shell 15 which isshaped to` conform `tothe configurationv of a button head with whichthe same is associated. The

shell 15, as shown is of an elongated'character and gradually narrows toward one end thereof. The side longitudinal edgesoif the shell 15 are provided with lips 16 which can be of a resilient character for snapping over the head ofthe button, or as shown, the same can be of a ben'dable character Vto permit the same to bebentr'back over the inner face of the head 12 as clearly shown in Figures 3 'and 4l The .shell 15 'at the central portion thereof is provided with an elongated openingl 17 and arranged longitudinally of the of isa tie yengaging pin 18, which is formed integral with the shell vat one end wall therevided with a -penetratingpoint 19, and in opening equi-distant vof the sidewallsthereof. VThe pin 18 has the free end'thereof proorder'to .prevent the disengagement of the tie from the pin, after thevsame has been i'n-` sertedin the knot thereof, the pin is provided at va point intermediate its ends with stiff Y materi al.v
